You're going to be simply bigger, faster, and stronger, and even more agile because of increased ability to create tension to turn and absorb.
I always cringed when people say getting bigger makes you slower, yes, if you're putting it all on in body fat. The more I lift, the bigger I get, the faster I get. Unless you pass a natural genetic threshold with drugs.
That's the way it is now but this fellow doesn't look much bigger than Johnny and he's a double sprint Olympic champion and world record holder.
